The 23.8” full HD multi-touch display offers an intuitive and user-
friendly touch interface. Based on the RAFI GLASSCAPE technology platform, the input and display system provides operating comfort akin to that of smartphones, the company explains. The extensive range of features is complemented by editable role profiles, individual user customisation, and compatibility with digital networking at the IIoT level. Furthermore, the HDBaseT standard gateway allows for a sleek device. The HDBaseT interface ensures lossless real-time transmission of video and audio signals, user input, and USB communication, as well as internet and network protocols. Data rates of up to 8 Gbit/s also support video transmissions with 4K resolution; and the large display diagonal provides room for intuitive user interfaces featuring customisable, self-explanatory, icons. RAFI has incorporated ultra-flat actuators from its RAFIX 30 FS+ series into the console of the swiveling and tilting panel located beneath the display. RAFIX actuators
paired with MICON 5S micro-switches provide precise tactile feedback, exceptional switching reliability, and minimised space requirements. A USB feed-through from the RAFIX 22 FS+ series is used for data transmission. The system features automatic radar user recognition along with an integrated front camera, enabling direct video calls with the Customer Care team of the UNITED GRINDING Group.
The PLC500 integrates seamlessly with the CODESYS, a globally recognised software platform that allows for intuitive programming and fast migration of existing applications, reducing development time and cost. Powered by a Dual-core ARM Cortex-A7
processor running at 1GHz and a real-time ARM Cortex-M4 coprocessor operating at 200MHz, the PLC offers 1GB RAM and 4GB flash memory, ensuring it can handle complex industrial applications and multiple simultaneous tasks with ease. This also features two Ethernet ports, one CAN port and one RS485 port, allowing it to operate efficiently across various communication protocols – such as Modbus TCP/RTU, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET and MQTT – simultaneously. Specialised versions of the PLC500 are also available, including the
PLC500MC (Motion Controller) for servo movement control and the PLC500ED (Edge Device), which integrates advanced edge computing technology. “The PLC500 has already proven to be a valuable asset across a wide range of
industries, including textiles, metals, wood processing, and general manufacturing,” said Aluisio João Corrêa, automation specialist. “Its versatility makes it suitable for OEMs and automation processes across various sectors, demonstrating its effectiveness in both specialised applications and broader industrial environments.”
